This year saw Irish Twitter users react en masse as Hurricane #Ophelia swept through the country, engage in the ongoing political and constitutional debates on #Brexit and #RepealThe8th, and celebrate and speculate on global sporting occasions like #WRWC2017.

#COYBIG once again ranked high in commentary as Martin O'Neill's Republic of Ireland side got within one match of a trip to Russia.

Meanwhile, staying in the sporting sphere, Conor McGregor's tweet announcing the fight with Floyd Mayweather was the most liked and retweeted from an Irish handle last year.
